Price...What Should I Expect To Pay? You can buy a bar stool for as little as $9. Typically bar stools less than $100 are "RTA" or "Ready to Assemble". This means that the bar stool must be bolted together by the customer. Using as many as FIFTY (yes. I once sold a stool that required 50 bolts) bolts. legs must be attached. seats must be attached. arms. back. seat frame. etc. Every bolt used to assemble a bar stool is a potential problem.

Metal or Wood? This is a good question. If you ask 10 retailers. you`ll get 10 responses. In my opinion. wood bar stools are prone to problems not encountered with welded metal bar stools. Due to the soft nature of wood (when compared to steel). screws and joints tend to come loose over time- especially wood with arms. The constant outward stress on the arms can loosen the attachment points resulting in a loose feel. Legs and stretchers (horizontal support bars) can also become loose over time resulting in an unstable and potentially dangerous bar stool. Still. there are decorating situations in which only wood will work.

but NOT on a silver modernized frame! Synthetic suede fabrics are very durable and easy to clean. They simulate the look and feel of suede. but are far more easy to care for than cotton or other natural coverings. Some manufacturers offer the ability to use your own fabric. These are commonly referred to as "COM" or "Customer`s Own Material." If you choose to use your own fabric.

If your horizontal (floor space) is limited. you may choose armless. Arms generally add 3 to 6 inches to the overall width of a single bar stool and can add up to 18" in width on just 3 bar stools. (See "How Many Do I Need?)

If your budget allows you. try to upgrade from the RTA bar stools to welded construction. They will last longer. be safer for you and your family. AND should allow you the ability to customize the height. fabric. and finish you want.
